. To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ANDREW RAronE, a

citizen of the United States, residing .in

I studs, .alloperated from a Quincy, in the county of Norfolk and Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Machines for Settin .Lacing Hooks and Eyelets, of which the f0 lowing descrip tion, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like characters on the drawings representing like parts.

This invention has for its object to provide a machine with which eyelets, rivets, lacingin the upshoes. For this purpose the machine is provided punching the holes in the shoe-upper and with two sets of tools, one for setting the eyelets and the other for setting the lacin main shaft of the machine, as will be described. g

Provision is made for rendering inoperative one set of-tools, such as the lacing-studsetting tools, while the other set of tools, as the eyelet-setting tools, is in operation,-and vice versa.

' These and other, features of this invention will be pointed out in the claims at the end this specification.

Figure l is a broken away, of invention, parts ofthe machine being omitted to enable other parts to be more clearly shown; Fig: 2,- a rear elevation of the machine shown in Fig. 1 Fig. 3, a plan view of the machine shown A elevation, with parts in section, ofthe machine shown in Fig. 1, looking toward the left; Fig. 5, a similar view right in Fig. 1,- Fig. 6, a detail front elevation, with parts in section and elevation of the hook-setting mechanism;- Fig. 7, a detail in section of the presser; Fig. 8', a detail in plan of the presser and. feed mechanism; Fig. 9, a detail in section of the feed mechanism; Fig. 10, a section on the line 10 10, Fig. 9;Fig. 11, a detail in section and elevation of the operating-shafts and their cams, to be referred to Fig. 12, a detail of one clutch mechanism ,and Fig. 13, a detail in section, to be referred to.

The machine. herein shown as embodying this invention comprises three sets of operatingtools, which may be designated the "punching set, the hook set, and the eye et set, the punchingset cooperating with both the hook and eyelet-sets.

The punching set may be made asherein State of 1 I carrier with. means fora machine embodying this.

in Fig. .1; Fig. 4, a side looking toward the l q. and a lower tool or anvil tively, l form of levers c (1, (shown best in Figs. 1 and I 4,) pivoted at e to upright arms f on a sliding carrier g,mounted way formed by guide-bars it, (see Fig. 1,) se cured to a top plate or platform *8, forming part of the framework of the machine. The 9 is moved in one direction-namely,

secured, respecshown, and consists of an upper tool or punch to upper and lower jaws made in the ratented'sepail, 1906.

to reciprocate in a guide-i to carry the punching-tools-forwa'rd into their operative position with relation to the shoe-upper or work 1', port or plate is, supported by a post m, erect ed upon the platform '5 by acam a (See Figs. 1., 4, and 11 on the face of a disk 0, fast on a shaft p, which may be designated the main shaft of the machine and which is supported 1 below the platform 2' in bearings g, erected.

om a base-plate 1'.

The face-cam n with the carrier g, as herem shown, by means of a roller 20, carried by an arm 21 on a rock.- ing sleeve or-hub 22, provided with a second arm or crank 23, which is joined by a link 24 (see Fig. 1) to the bottom of the carrier 9, so that in the revolution of the main shaft p the resting on a work-supis operatively connected I cam n turns the crank or arm 21 -to the right mal orstarting position by a spring 26, connected to the crank or arm 23. (See Figs. 2 and 4.)

During the forward movement of .the carrier g the punching-j aws c d are open and pass 4 one above and the otherbelow the work 7', and at or about the time-the carrier has reached the end of its forward stroke the jaws c d are closed to cause form a hole in the'wor punching-jaws c d may be shown,

. The closing of the effected, as herein on a crank or arm 32 on arock -s aft 33, su ported in a bearing 34, (see Flg. 1,) depen mg from the platform L, the said rock-shaft having a second crank or arm 35, joined bya link 36 .to a crank 37 on a hub or sleeve 38,. loose-0n a rod 338 and provided arms 39, which jaws or levers 0 thereby turn the to punch a hole in the work.

d, as shown m'Fig. 4, and

has been punched in the work, the punching-jaws are opened the inching-tools a b to I by means of a peripheral cam. 30 on the disk 0, (see Fig. 4,) engagin a roller 31 I 105. with cams or engage therear end of the said levers on the1r pivot e 7 After a .hole no as described,

by the move;

ment of the cams '39 from the substantially vertical position shown in Fig. 4 into a substantially horizontal position, and are with,- drawnt'o their startin position by the backward movement of Lt e carrier 'g, which is effected by the spring 26,1as' above described. The cams 39 areturned in their horizontal position by: thespring 340, connected with the crank or arm and the levers c d are opened by the s ring 341', connecting the rear ends of said ev'ers.- (See Fig. 4.) 'The main shaft p is rotated in a manner as will be described. Y

While the 'hole is bein unched in the work, the "latter isfirmly is (1 down on the work table or plate 70 by a presser, (shown best in Fig. 7,) and consisting of a crank or arm 40 011:8 vertical rod 4'1,extended through a guid'e-tube .42,'- supported by the platform '11,.

the-said rod being extended below the plat fomn and encircled by a spring '43, which 1L0 down upon thew-ork j until posi-' tively raised therefrom by a cam .on the act s-against a collar 44 to hold the presserhery of a disk 46, fast on-the main shaft pomp v p, t c said cam acting upon a stud -or roller 47, carriedby a crank 48 on a hub or sleeve 49, (see Fig. 7,) provided with a second .crank or arm 50, upon which the presserrod 41rests. A hole having been punched in the material, let it be supposed that it is desired to insert the shank of a lacing hook or stud therein and to fasten the same to'the' work.

For this purpose the machine is provided" with a hook-setting mechanism, which, as herein shown, comprises an upper tool or anvil 60, (see Figs. 1 and 6,) carried by an upper jaw or lever 61, and a lower tool or ocket-plate 62, carried by a lower jaw or ever 63, both of said jaws or levers being mounted on a common pivot '64 in arms 65,

depending-from a carrier 66, which slides in-a guideway formed :by guide-arms 67, attached to the under side of aplate 68, sup orted by u rights 69 directed u on the p atform e. T ecarrier66 is moved orward into-itsoperative position by means of a cam 70 on a disk 71, (see Figs.'2, -6,'and 11,) fast on a sleeve or hollow shaft 72, normally loose on the main s'haftp, the said cam acting on a lever 74, joined y arm 65. The backwardmovement of the carrier 66 efiected by a spring 76. (See (shown in Fig. 6) close the jaws 61 63 and-in their horizontal position permit said jaws to be opened by a spring 612 or otherwise.-

the link to the carrier- The cams 84 are moved into their horizontal osition by the spring 610, connected to the ever 80. The lower j aw or lever 63 is provided with an opening 86, (seeFig. 6,) in

which is located a pivoted finger or dog 87, vand'which e06 crates with the ocket-plate 6213c frictionally grasp the hook or stud 88 and retain it in its pro er position on the lowersetting-jaw63. Tlie studs or hooks 88 are fed one by one to the lower jaw 63 from a racewayQO of any suitable or usual construction, which in practice will communicate with a suitable hopper, (not shown,) the said raceway being suitably supported from the platform '5 as by uprights "91, erected thereon. 1 1

The lower jaw 63 cooperates with the raceway 90 'totake a hook or stud therefrom when said jaw is in its backward position, the shank of the hook being uppermost, as represented in Fig. 4, so as to enter the hole in the work previously made by the punching set, When the jaws 61 63 are closed to set the hook in the work, the pocket-plate '62 engages the neck of the hook, and in order to permit the work to be fed forward, so that a new hole may be punched in the work, thesaid pocket-plate is withdrawn from engagement with the hook, which is effected by a cam 94 on a disk 95 on the hub of the disk 71, (see Fig. 6,) the said cam acting on a bell-crank lever 96, whose upper arm is slotted to engage a pin 97 on a sliding bar 98, provided with an upright arm '99, extendedthrough a slot 100 in the platform '1'. and provided with a finger 101, (see Fig. 1,) which engages a fin ger 102 on a bar 103, de ending from the pocket-plate 62, when the ower jaw 63 is in its elevated or closed position shown in Fig.6.

When the jaw 63 is'in its lowered position, the 'finger'1-02 is below andout of linewith the finger "101, as shown'in Fig. 1. When'the cam 94 rocks the lever '96, the bar .98 is moved in the direction indicated by the arrow 105, Fig.6, and'by means of the fingers 101 102 moves the pocket-plate 62 in the same direction and withdraws the said plate from engagement with the hook or stud, and the jaws" 61 63 at or about this time are opened, thus leaving the work free to be fed forward, as

will be described.

roo

' The bar 98 is moved in'the direction opposite to that indicated by the arrow 105 by a spring 106. (See Fig. 6.) The cam-sleeve or hollow shaft 72 is normally loose on the main shaft p, but is adapted to be rendered fast thereon by a clutch mechanism, which may be made as herein shown and which co'mprises a collar 107, fast on the sleeve 72, (see Figs. 1-and 11,) a collar 108, fast on the main shaft, and a connecting dog or lever 109, which is ivoted in a slot in the collar 107- and is a apted to have its free endforced by a spring 112 into a slot 113 in the collar 108.

The lever 109 is normally disengaged from.

lar 117 on said rod. Theclutch mechanism just described may be designated the hook or stud clutch. After each hook or stud has been set in the hole previously made b the punching set the work 1' is fed forwar whi'canism, which may be of the construction herein shown. (See Figs. 8 and 9.)

The workfeed mechanism herein shown comprises two fingers 12 0 121, adapted toengage the'upper and lower surfaces of the work and which may be designated the upper and lower feed-fingers, respectively. The upper finger is fast'on a vertical shaft or rod 1 22', which is extended through a sleeve or hollow shaft 123, to which the lower fin er- 121 is secured. The sleeve 123 is extende through bearing-hubs '124 125 on the'platform i, and has-fast to its lower end a crank 126, which is joined by. a link 127 to one arm 128 of a lever 129, pivoted at-130 to move in a substantiallya roller 131-, by a cam 132' horizontal lane and carry'in which is ad' pted to be en aged on the face of the cam-dis 46 to effect movement of the-lever 129 in-one direction, and thereby through the crank'128, link 127, and

crank 126 rotatethe sleeve 123 and efiect the feed of the work. The shaft 122 is connected to the sleeve 123 by the key 135, (see Fig. 10,) so as 'torotatetherewithand yet move longitudinally thereof to disengage the finger 120 from the work and release the latter to enable the feed mechanism to be returned b the spring 137, to its normal or starting position.

The feed-finger 120 is moved longitudinally,

as herein shown, by a crank or arm 139 (see Fi .9, on a rock-shaft 140, supported in suitab e bearings 141 .(see Fig. 1) and u on which is loosely mountedthe s eeve 49. he rockshaft has a second crank or arm 150, carrying a stud orjroller 151, which is engaged by thecam'45 on the periphery of the disk 46, so as to rock the shaft 140and elevate the crank 139 and the rod 122, so as to lift the finger 120 outof engagement with the work,

the said finger being again engaged with the work when the cam 45 passes out'of contact with the roller 151 by a spring 155 (See Fi 9.)

The cam 45 constitutes the release-cam for the work-feed mechanism and also the releasecam for the presser 40. Provision-is also made for manually lifting the up er feed-finger .120 and the presser 40in or er that the work ma be roperly positioned on the work tab e. or pate 7c, and for this urpose the cranks 48 150 are provided with ent-.fin-, gers 161, (see .Figs. :1, 7 ,and'e, :which are engaged byared 162.1011 the uprig arm. .163-

may be accomplished by a feed mechof a lever 164, which is connected by a link with a foot-treadlel (Not shown.)

It will be understood that the "punching set and the hook or stud setting mechanism operate alternately as long as it is desired to set hooks or-lacing-studs. When however, it is desired to set eyelets, the hoo -cl1'1tch is released by the operator, the rod 115 is thereby elevated into its normal position shown in Fi 1, and the clutch-dog 109 uncouples the ho low shaft 72 from the main shaft 10, after which the eyelet-clutch treadle (not shown) is depressed to withdraw the head on thestud 171 from engagement with the clutchdog 172, which is pivoted in a slot in a collar 173 fast on a short shaft 174, arranged in line with the main shaft .1), See Fig. 11, the said clutch-dog being adapted to be moved by a spring 175 into a slot 176 in a collar 177, fast OIl'SBJd main shaft. The rod 171 is normally elevated b the spring 178. (See Fi 1.) The shaf t 174 has fast on it a cam- 'sk 179, provided with a face-cam180 andwith a eripheral cam 181, (see Figs. 1 and 5,) simi ar to the cams n and 30, which operate the punchin set, as above described.

he earn 180 effects movement of the eyelet setting mechanism into its operative osition, {and the cam 181 efiects the setting 0 the eye- ,The e clot-setting mechanism may be made as erein shown and consists of an upper tool or anvil 185, (see Fig. 5,) carried by an upper jaw or lever 186, and a lower tool comprising a'plun er 187, carried by a lowermally held depressed against t e action of a jaw or lever .188, t e said plun er being'nor-- spring 189 by a latch 190, which engagesa head 191 on the lower end of said lunger.

. The levers 186 188 are mounts ona pivot 192 on a reciprocating carrier 193, which slides'in a suitable uideway in the platform '5 and is 'connected y a-1ink 194 to a crank 195 on a hollow rock-shaft or sleeve 196, pro-j vided with a second crank or arm 197, carryinga stud or roller 198, which is engaged by the cam 180.

' The setting levers or jaws 186 188 are closed and 0 ened in a manner similar to that described w1th relation to the punching set, and for the purpose of closing the 09.111 181 acts on the crank 200 of a rock-shaft 201, provided with a second crank 202, (see Figs. 1, 2, and 5,) which is connected by links 203 to a crank 204 on a hub 205', mounted on the rod 338 and provided with op ositely-extend ed cams or arms 206, whi h 0 vose the settinglevers and effect the settingqof the eyelet, as represented in Fig. 5. The setting-levers are opened by the spring 207.- The cam 18'0' moves the setting jaws or levers from their backward or normal position (represented in Fig. 1) into theirforward or operativeposition, (represented in Fig. 5,) which forward move-' ment terminates with the setting-tools at the central point to which the punching-tools are moved. On the forward movement. of the setting-jaws the plunger 187 takes an eyelet from the raceway 210 and carries it forward into line with the hole made by the punch. When the eyelet set, which is effected by the upper tool 185 and'the hollow anvil 400, through which. the plunger 187 passes, the

said l-un or is -de ressed until the head 191 g g P (see ig. '5) passes by the latch 190, which latter is then moved by a suitable spring (not shown) over said head, thereby locking the plunger'in its lowered position until it is again 2 released, which occurs when the setting-jaws have reached the end of theirbackward move- .rrient, at which time the latch 190 engages a back-stop 211 and is disengaged from the head 191, whereupon the spring 189 moves the plunger 187 upward to engage an eyelet in the raceway.

The eyelet-setting machine is operated alternately with the punching mechanism as long as the eyelet-clutch 172 couples the shaft 1'74 to the main shaft p, which in the present instance is aslong as the eyelet-treadle re:

mains depressed.

It will be observed that the setting mechanisms are both operated from the main or driving shaft p, which is stationary when the machine is not in operation, but which is adapted to 'be set in rotation by a clutchof any suitable construction and which is herein shown as a pin 220, (see Fig. 1,) which slides in an opening in a'collar-or hub 221, fast on the shaft p, and cooperates with one or more ins or projections 222 on the inner face 0 a pulley-223, normally loose on the hub 221.

Theclutch-pin 220 has attached to it a cam225, (see Figs. 1 and 2,) which is adapted to engage a clutch-rod 226 to disengage the clutch member or pin 220 from the ooo eratingmember 222 on the ulley. When t e rod 226 is lowered, as wi be described, the clutch-pin 220 is moved into the path of the revolving member 222 by a spring 228,.

acting upon a depending stud 229' on said pin. It will be observed that zthe punching 'mechanism cooperates with -:-both setting device is under control of the ot er settingclutch mechanism. v

In the present instance the clutchaod 115 for the hook-setting mechanism has attached 243 to'the starting-clutch rod. 226.

' arm 253 connected by the slot 254 and to it an arm or finger 230, (see Fig. 1,) which cooperates with an arm or projection 231 on a link or bar 232, ivotally connected at one end to a bell-cran lever 233, havingits other arm 234 connected, as by a slot 235 and pin 236, to the clutch-rod 171 forsthe eyelet-setting mechanism. The link 232 at its opposite end is provided with a slot 238, into which extends a-rstud or pin 239 on a bell-crank lever 240, having its other arm 241 loosely connected by the slot 242 and pin he clutch-rod 226 has also connected to it by a pin 24'5 and slot 246 (see Fig. 2) a second ell-crank lever 247, having its'arm 248 connected by a pin 249 and slot 250 to a link 251, which has itsopposite end connected to a bell-crank lever 252, having its other II]. 255 to the clutch-rod 115.

As represented in Fig. 1, the stopor looking devlce 231 is out of line with the arm 230, attached to the hook-clutch rod 115,

thereby "leaving the latter free to be de pressed; The downward movement of the clutch-rod 115 turns the bell-crank lever 252 in'thedirection indicated by the arrow 260, Figs. 1 and 2, and turns the bell-crank lever 247 so as to withdraw the rod 226 from engagement with the'cam 225, thereby permitting the normally loose driving-pulley 223 to be clutched to the shaft p. At the same time the clutch dog or member109 is o erated to cou 1c the hollow shaft 72 to the s aft 10. The ownward movement of the starting-clutch rod 226 turns the bell-crank lever 240; but owing to the length of the'slot 238 this movement of said lever does not -ment of the hook-clutch.

When the eyelet-treadle is operated, the

ioo

downward movement of the rod 171. turns clutch-rod. 226 turns the bell-crank lever 247, but-by reason of the slot 250 does not move the link 251.

When the eyelet-clutch is thrown out of operation by the'spring 178, the link 232'is -moved in the direction opposite to that in dicated by the arrow 260 and the-sto 231- is thereby moved out of line with the ger or arm 230. p

In. operation with the machine herein shown the work is placed on the work-sup-' port and the machine is set in operation by the operator depressing either the hookmoperative one setting other is in operation.

not desire to limit 111 clutch treadle or the eyelet clutch treadle. Assume that the hook-clutch'treadle is depressed. In this case the punching mechanism and the hook-setting mechanism are brought into'operation, while the eyelet-setting mechanism remains idle or inactive. During the Operation of the machine when used for setting hooks the punching mechanism is first operated to punch a hole in the work held upon the work-support and is then withdrawn, and the hooksetting mechanism is then operated to take a hook from its raceway, insert it in the hole fromed by the punching mechanism, and fasten or set the said hook in the work. The hook-setting mechanism is then withdrawn and the work-feed mechanism is operated to feed the work forward the proper distance to bring a new portion of the work'into position to have the next hole formed in it, after which the operations of punching the hole and setting a hook therein are repeated. The alternate operations of unching a hole in the work and setting a hook therein are continued as long as the hook-clutch remains depressed.

When it is desired to set eyelets, the hookclutch is released and the eyelet-clutch is brought into operation by the de 'ression of its treadle. In this latter case te unching mechanism is operated to form a ole in the work, is withdrawn, and the eyelet-setting mechanism is operated to take an eyelet from its raceway and carry it forward to the work and set or fasten it in the hole formed by the punching mechanism. After the eyelet has been set the e elet-settin mechanism is withdrawn and t e work-fee operated to feed the work forward. The alternate operations of punching a hole in the work and setting an eyelet therein are repeated as long as the e elet-clutch lever remains depressed. It will t us be seen that the work-feed-mechanism is used with both kinds of setting mechanisms-that is, it is used with the hook-setting mechanism and also withthe eyelet-setting mechanism.

From the above descri tion it will be seen that the punching mechanism coo erates with both settmg mechanisms and t at all three constitute .;part of a single machine which is provided with means for rendering mechanism while the It will be also seen that by means of my invention hooks and eyelets may be set in the work while the latter is fed throughthe machine .and that the setting of these two un-- like devices is accomplished in a substan-' tially continuous manner.
